Zouo
Hardcore Punk Band from Japan
Band Members : Katsunori Nishida, Milky, Happy, Bun Bun
This Japanese hardcore gang only made one record.
Singer Katsunori “Cherry” Nishida learned about punk through bands like the Clash and UK Subs. Eventually he was hit by Discharge which changed everything for him. Before this band few of the members previously played in a band called Memai (which translates in English to Vertigo) they had one demo which is raw hardcore. It was not officially released but mp3:s are circulating. After Zouo, Cherry and some other members formed the band Danse Macabre who put out a few records, the first EP. It’s really good dark hardcore not unlike Zouo. At one point Cherry moved to the U.S. for a while and ended up in Pittsburgh hanging out with the band Half Life and sang on some live gigs with them, no recordings of that though. Cherry is now in a hardcore band with weird eerie keyboards, the band consists of old Japanese hardcore punks who played in other great bands, they are called S.H.I. (Struggle Harsh Immortals), based in Osaka.
